(That the WiFi 5 routers are still a very much valid option, even today.)Īs expected, Asus did not make any changes to the design of the RT-AC68U and they didn’t really need to considering that it doesn’t occupy that much space due to its vertical case (which actually stood as inspiration to the newer RT-AX86U). After testing quite a few WiFi 6 routers, I already have an idea about the current state of the home networking devices, but let’s still re-test the Asus RT-AC68U and confirm what we all have been thinking off the last couple of years. But even so, it should still paint a fairly accurate picture on whether it’s time to fully move towards the new WiFi standards or if the WiFi 6 routers aren’t really going to bring that much improvement unless you have a bunch of compatible clients as well. I do not have the v3 available, so I will still be using the first generation of the RT-AC68U, yes, the one that heats up a bit. But there is a bit more than that because as I already mentioned, Asus did not yet let go of this model and there are apparently several hardware revisions available, the latest being v3.0 which was released last year. A reader asked me a couple of months ago to re-check this still popular router and see how well it stands against the newer routers and if it’s actually worth going for the newer tech or if it’s best to hold on for a bit more, while still keep using the good ol’reliable tech. ![]()
